Towards Personal Growth! Develop relationship with growing people. Another factor in your personal development comes in the area of your relationship with others.

NEVER STAY ON A PLATEAU
Something in human nature tempts us to stay where we are comfortable. We try to find a plateau, a resting place, where we have comfortable stress and adequate finances. Where we have comfortable associations with people without the intimidation of meeting new people and entering strange situations.

Of course, all of us need to plateau for a time, we climb and then plateau for assimilation, but once we've assimilated what ever we've learned, we climb again. It's unfortunate when we've done our last climb, when we have made our last climb we are old, whether 40 or 80.
What ever you do, dont allow your self to stay on a plateau, commit your self to climbing the mountain of personal potential, a little at a time thought out your life time. It's a journey you'll never regret having made.

YOUR ENVIRONMENT

The more positive the environment, the more rapid your growth is able to be. A life of continual growth is never easy, but a good environment makes the swim upstream a little less difficult and it makes the trip much more pleasurable.

RELATIONSHIP
Develop relationship with growing people. Another factor in your personal development comes in the area of your relationship with others. Carefully examine your closet associations, you can tell a lot about which direction your life is heading by looking at the people with whom you have chosen to spend your time and share your ideas.

Their values and priorities affect the way you think and act. If they are positive people dedicated to growth, then their values and prorites will encourage you and reinforce your desire to develop yourself.
It is not always comfortable to associate with people who are ahead of you in their growth, but it is always profitable.

NAMBA: A VILLAGE WHERE MANNA STILL FALLS.

Namba is a small and drought-stricken village in Southern part of Angola, a Seventh Day Adventist missionary who spent nearly a lifetime in Africa established a mission in this village. This white missionary left and for some years the mission was under the care of a local director. One year the rains failed to come, the crops did not grow, and the mission stores were emptied and no money to buy food if it could have been found. The mission director had been away for some weeks on a trip visiting distant mission schools. The believers at the Missao Adventista da Namba came to the end of their resources and food supply. The director's wife called the families together and told them the situation. Then she read to the people the promises of the Lord and told them of the manna which had been sent by God to His people in the time of Moses, assuring them that God could send them food in the same way, if necessary. After prayer, a little girl, about five years of...

The nature of mindsets, part 1.The deeper reason to examine our mindsets is so we can mount a self-aware response to the great challenges of our day. We simply can’t respond to our personal and global problems in a meaningful way unless we also learn how to examine our mindsets as an integral part of how we live our lives

The nature of mindsets by Ash Buchanan A primer on how our underlying beliefs, attitudes and assumptions create our everyday lives — and our shared world Mindsets shape the lives we lead, the actions we take and the future possibilities of the world we live in. In this primer, we provide an overview of what mindsets are, why they matter and explore a range of practices you can use to be mindful about how and why you use them. What is a Mindset? “Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny.” — Mahatma Gandhi Eight principles can be used to describe the underlying nature of mindsets. 1) Mindsets are habits of mind The word mindset was first used in the 1930’s to mean “habits of mind formed by previous experience.” In simple terms, mindsets are deeply held beliefs, attitudes and assumptions we create about who we are and h...

HOW PRAYING IN TONGUES CAN BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM

It has been reported by medical science recently that praying can affect a sick person’s outcome for the better. One study showed that even when the sick person did not know people were praying for him/her, their health improved. As believers, we know personally what prayer has done for us in our times of sickness (Js. 5:15-16). But did you know that “praying in tongues” can actually make you healthier? Speaking in Tongues Can Boost Your Immune System A few years ago, a brain surgeon at Oral Roberts University did a study of what happens in the brain when people pray in tongues. He found that they secreted two chemicals that can boost the immune system by 35-40%! Think about the effects this can have on opportunistic diseases such as cancer. God created the immune system to be our defense against harmful invaders: bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, and even malignant. It is when the immune system is weakened that such pathogens can attack and overwhelm our bodies. We all know tha...
